Roya Development Group
Roya Development Group (RDG) is a mission-driven research, development, and advocacy firm dedicated to advancing good governance and inclusive development in Iraq. Founded in 2021, RDG supports global and local stakeholders as they navigate Iraq’s complex socio-political, economic, and development landscape.
RDG adopts innovative, evidence-based strategies to tackle Iraq’s critical issues, such as government transparency, women’s political inclusion, cross-border trade management, and civil society strengthening. Our initiatives aim to generate sustainable, locally driven impacts through careful, evidence-backed advocacy. We expand project collaborations, link decision-makers, and enhance constituents’ advocacy, communication, and analytical skills. Emphasizing locally-led development, we transfer knowledge and resources to Iraqi organizations, enabling them to independently design, implement, and sustain programs. Our strategy involves participatory planning, adaptive learning, and inclusive stakeholder involvement to develop solutions suited to the local context.
APSU
APSU is an independent, non-profit Iraqi NGO established in 2020, focusing on water, environment, sustainable development, and capacity building. It works to foster partnerships between government institutions, NGOs, and international bodies to implement projects that enhance water and environmental sustainability, particularly in line with Sustainable Development Goal.
The organization promotes the use of modern technology in water resource management and encourages the participation of women and youth in these efforts. Additionally, APSU raises awareness about the importance of preserving water and environmental resources, addresses the impacts of climate change, and advocates for improved water and environmental legislation to tackle current and future challenges.
Enmaa Center for Researches & Studies
Enmaa Center for Researches & Studies (ECRS ) is an independent Iraqi think tank founded in 2011. ECRS was established to promote, conduct, and foster research, study, and analysis relating to the current political, economic, and social developments in Iraq through direct polling, data collection, and analysis. ECRS’s activities involve research, training-education, and dissemination of information.
ECRS seeks to increase knowledge and understanding relating to democracy, rule of law, religious tolerance, government transparency, and human rights. ECRS encourages and involves both policymakers and citizens in its workshops, seminars, and conferences and exchanges skills and experiences with other local, regional, and international think tanks.
PAX
PAX is the largest peacebuilding NGO in the Netherlands. It originally focused on supporting campaigns against nuclear arms, the organization is now active in many countries worldwide, including in Europe, South America, Africa, and the Middle East.
Since 2001, PAX has been active in Iraq, working with Iraqi and international partners on inclusive peace building. The Iraq program is approached from a conflict transformation perspective: Harmful norms that sustain and create conflict are addressed and transformed into constructive and inclusive norms. These norms entail inter-community dynamics (horizontal relations) as well as citizen-state dynamics (vertical relations). Together with IILHR, PAX implements projects on legislative reform and the (political) empowerment of youth.
Ceasefire Centre for Civilian Rights
The Ceasefire Centre for Civilian Rights is an international initiative to develop civilian-led monitoring of violations of international humanitarian law or human rights and to secure accountability and reparation for those violations. Ceasefire works in conflict-affected states around the world to empower civilians to claim their rights.
